Scandal in Scotland

by Karen Hawkins, 333 pages

Captain William Hurst must deliver a mysterious artifact to the man holding his brother captive in order to ensure his release.  Just as he is about to set sail, a woman from his past, actress Marcail Beauchamp shows up in his cabin, drugs him, and steals the artifact for herself.  Marcail needs the artifact to pay off a blackmailer who threatens to destroy her sisters' future unless she delivers it.  When the artifact is stolen by a third party, Marcail and William must work together to retrieve the box and save both their families.

This was a fun treasure hunt of a book with misunderstood motives, theft, arson, and plenty of romance.  Hawkins does a wonderful job of injecting a bit of mystery and magic to her stories for a unique flair.  Great for anyone who loves a fast-paced romance.  This is the second book in the Hurst Amulet series.
